Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Children with congenital heart disease have unique risk factors associated with the pathophysiology of an abnormal heart; hence, this population is most likely at increased risk of acquiring a pressure injury during hospitalization. Few studies have included patients with congenital heart disease or examined the factors unique to these patients. Results showed corticosteroids and anticoagulant use were contributing factors in the development of pressure injuries in children with congenital heart disease.Learners must attend/view/read the entire activity and complete the associated evaluation to be awarded the contact hours or CERP. No partial credit will be awarded.
